Dwarf Red Spicata germinated coconuts for sale


PalmatierMeg

Recommended Posts

We have calculated shipping for our dwarf Red Spicata germinated coconuts, so I am ready to post them in the Sale Forum. At the moment I have approximately 12 coconuts that have germinated and expect more any time. This dwarf coconut is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Last year I posted photos of my mother palm and PT consensus is that I have a dwarf red spicata possibly hybridized with another variety. Mother palm is approximately 20', with a trunk diameter of 30", long lime green fronds with yellow-orange petioles. Unripe coconuts are a spectacular shade of orange. This is the only flowering coconut in my yard of nearby so I am confident offspring will resemble their spectacular mother. So far that seems to be the case.

One germinated coconut = $25.00 (4-6 show spikes & roots so far, rest have roots)

Shipping varies depending on US destination zipcode: within FL = $11.00 per coconut; West Coast = $21.00; elsewhere = between $11 & $21 depending on zipcode

NOTE: Sorry, but I cannot ship coconuts outside the US. I have no permits or phyto certificates and am not a commercial nursery.

Payment via Paypal preferred (or by other arrangement)

If you are interested, please PM me

Are these a bit more cold hardy than the regular coconut?

No.

That's great, Bren

Listen up, y'all. This listing is 6 years old. I lost my mother palm to Hurricane Irma in 2017. Her four remaining offspring have yet to flower. I have no coconuts.

If I can get some nuts to germinate, I'll offer some for sale. Meg is giving me tips. The palm is loaded.  This has been a beast in terms of growth in 6 yrs!

I apologize Meg. Just meant to show history. I should not have tagged this post. Please look for future posts from me if any nuts are viable from Meg's orig palm.
